In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

A message to the Michiganders. I found this posted today on the Committee to Recall Whitmer page on Facebook:

The Michigan board of state canvassers denied both languages.
Who that is sympathetic to the cause in the group is a licensed attorney who will represent us in the next hearing and help with the write the revisions needed to the language?

The post also refers to the denial of Petition language on AG Nessler.
Whitmer has a group of lawyers that are working to defeat these recall petitions.

….beginning, was forced to apologize (Fake News!) after the seriously wrong call of the 2016 Election, and is now willing to write anything, even if not truthful. He laughs at his boss, Publisher A.G. Sulzberger, and I laugh at them all. The @nytimes is a total mess!

This was very hard to watch; the host never gave Navarro a chance to finish a sentence before tearing into Navarro.

I’m going to chalk it up to cabin fever on Mr. Dobbs’ part. Hope he gets a chance to get outside this weekend, get some sunshine, take a break from this past week which has been pretty intense news-wise.

Someone at FOX must have threatened Lou Dobbs, this is a totally useless interview, non-stop interruption and emotional diarrhoea from him, Navarro is not even sure what he is arguing about, nor am I. I think he has just been told he has to find fault, so he’s flinging … flinging.

I chalked it up to Dobbs not liking Navarro personally; I think I have seen them have other awkward interactions but this was totally off base. To take an ax to Navarro, an extension of the Trump Administration, is to take an ax to POTUS himself and I found it very distasteful. I could go on but lets just say I felt very bad for Navarro. “what are we even arguing about?”

Trump Finds His Pay Grade
Editorial of The New York Sun | May 22, 2020

Now we know why it’s the President who gets paid the big bucks — it’s the First Amendment. That epiphany struck in the wake of President Trump’s declaration today that houses of worship will be considered among those institutions that are “essential services.” He called on governors to “do the right thing” and “reopen them immediately.” Plus, too, he said if the governors fail to step up, he would “override them.”

Put this up this morning, but it is so good, wanted you evening guys to watch, it is a must-see.

Rep Devin Nunes has a new podcast every Friday. Recently Rep Nunes went visual, and podcasts are now on mp4 youtube as well as mp3

Today was Rep Nunes’ best podcast. imo
Rep Nunes spoke with retired Rep Tom Rooney about their investigation of Russiagate Hoax.
They cover why Rooney and Gowdy were chosen to head up the depositions, and the two discuss several of the witnesses, especially Hope Hicks and Susan Rice.

They tell you the real reason why Hope Hicks left the Administration (no, not the BF who allegedly beat his wife), and their impressions of Susan Rice’s behavior (validates Sundance’s “hunches”).

They speak only briefly of former Rep Trey Gowdy (for obvious reasons), and former Rep Rooney shares an embarrassing story with himself and his grandpa (Rooney…Steelers…Pittsburgh…).
The entire thing is 31:14, and worth every second.
Make certain to catch it this long weekend, for your own benefit.
“Inside Russiagate: Collusion, Coordination, Conspiracy With Tom Rooney”

Rep Nunes also was on Trey Gowdy’s podcast a couple three days ago. Reps Nunes and Toomey speak of it briefly, so will include it for reference. 10:15
“Trey Gowdy talks Obama, Trump and the FBI’s ‘botched’ Russia probe”

If Massie knew that of which he opines, he would be a little less opinionated on the twitter.
Stella has researched this in-depth (over at Stella’s Place), and has let us know this is a local thing, if i understand it all correctly.
With luck, perhaps we could entice Stella to put her research here as well.
Stella’s Place is listed in the Blog Roll, right side of every page, up top.

Fairfax County Health Department responded to my request for nursing home/longterm care facility deaths from COVID-19. As of May 22, there have been 249 coronavirus deaths in these facilities. That's ***75 percent*** of all Fairfax County deaths from coronavirus as of today (330)

Oh wow.
Rep Devin Nunes, just now, on the John Batchelor Show – (paraphrased) We will not be hearing from Susan Rice again.
Rice says she was told by White House Counsel to write Rice’s cya email re: the 5 Jan 2017 meeting.
And what do we know about White House Counsels? They never talk (except Pres Trump’s WH Counsel Don McGahn, of course).
And that is why Rep Nunes says we will never hear from Susan Rice again. Obama’s WH Counsel has taken over.

As an aside, Rep Nunes agrees that Rice email is a cya email, everyone knows Susan Rice is dirty as all-get-out.

Danny from Delaware here showing that we THE FIRST STATE are not backing down to Tyrannical Gov. Carney and his scumbag Damnocrats. My so-called unReprensative Lisa Blunt-Rochester aka Ms. R sent me an email saying how the HEROS act is such a wonderful piece of legislature.
My response:

Ms. Rochester,
You and your democrat party can shove your HEROES bill right up your asses.

You and your democrat party love open borders, ILLEGAL ALIENS, keeping the black voters on the
plantation and stealing elections with your ballot harvesting and vote by mail illegal actions.

You and your democrat party love the power grab you THINK you have with this PLANDEMIC but I
can assure you that this BS of flattening the curve and now waiting for a vaccine before getting back to
our NORMAL lives (and it won’t be your NEW normal BS) is going to backfire bigly on all of you.

WE THE PEOPLE have seen how your Democrat leaders have lied about HCQ, destroyed thousands of small businesses, lied about the actual deaths caused by the CHINESE VIRUS (of the virus versus with the virus)and covered for your Chinese masters of which Sleepy, creepy Joe is the biggest benefactor….as well as his little sonny boy Hunter.

So enjoy the moment because by November many more people will see through your lies and that is when the TRUMP TRAIN is going to destroy you and your evil ANTI-AMERICAN liberals for good.

Who knows….if our new ODNI director Ratcliffe continues where Ric Grenell left off while Ric finds anotherposition to shine light on your lying Russia hoax, your Ukraine hoax and your SHAMPEACHMENT, you maybe looking for a new career.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and remember…there are more of US than there are of you!
